　Günther's calm voice soothes Lise.

　But it seems to have the opposite effect. She raises her eyebrows and shouts loudly.

"Even Günther must be worried about Sam!

"Of course that's true. How can a wife not worry about her husband? But--"

"What?"

"I'm sure Sam would love to see the moment he defeats the strongest in the kingdom."

"Günther!"

　Liese is incensed by Günther's words as he sips his glass of wine and moistens his lips.

"Wait, Lise!"

"Father!"

"Just calm down, you too."

"...... yes."

　Lise tried to get up, but Jonathan stopped her.

　Reluctantly, Lise sat down on the sofa and drank the wine from her glass in one gulp.

"More!"

"Don't let me taste more of it. I saved up my meager allowance to buy this wine.

"I don't know!　More importantly, Father, I need another drink now!"

Oh, dear. By the way, Günther.

　Jonathan asked as he poured wine into his daughter's glass.

"You don't really think Sam is going to beat Albert, do you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, in my opinion, I think we have a good chance of winning."

"You're dealing with Albert Frege, you know?　This is a man who, if sent into battle as a force, would reduce all his enemies to ashes."

"I think Sam has a chance."

Is he that strong?

　There is currently no war in the Kingdom of Skye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a relatively peaceful country, though not without occasional skirmishes with its neighbors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that does not mean that warfare does not exist.

　Starting with the defeat of bandits, the Knights and the Royal Magical Army are dispatched to exterminate monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is often thought that court wizards do not have a role to play because of the Knights and the Royal Magical Army, but this is not true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the reasons why the Kingdom of Skye is so peaceful is because the Court Wizards are the greatest fighting force in the Kingdom.

　Not all of the twelve seats are filled, but the presence of a good wizard to protect the kingdom has a great impact on the surrounding countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, court wizards are sent to various places at the king's discretion to demonstrate their presence and power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, they have stable relations with the surrounding countries.

　Of course, this is not all thanks to the court wizards, but to the efforts of the bureaucrats in diplomacy and other areas.

　However, the presence of the court wizards contributes greatly to the protection of the country.

　Albert Frege, the court wizard and the most powerful man in the Kingdom of Skye, has been sent into battle many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He single-handedly and in an instant burned down hordes of ogres that the Knights and the Magical Army would have had to form a squadron to defeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Albert was so strong that he was known not only in Japan but also abroad as a wizard of fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Albert was a wizard who boasted of his high firepower, and at the same time, he showed no mercy or restraint to his enemies, even if they were human beings.

　Whether they have been forced to commit crimes for a reason or have turned against him as a result of his family being taken hostage, he burns them equally to death without listening to their circumstances.

"I still can't forget how Albert defeated Lord Delight in front of the kings."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure. I was there with my father, and it was amazing to see him defeat the most powerful man in the kingdom at that time, Lord Delight, so overwhelmingly. But what came after that was not so good. He was too far from a gentleman."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jonathan and Günther remember Albert's behavior in the past, and they look bitter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Father, I have only heard stories, but was it that bad?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Lord Delight fought and defeated Albert, another fire wizard. That's all right. It can't be helped. But Albert tortured the defeated Delight unilaterally.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No court wizard of the time could have intervened. That was the difference between him and Albert. The king was stunned, but before he came to his senses, Lord Delight was burned, kicked, and scorned in front of the crowd. It was a terrible sight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Magnolia-dono may have erased the scars, but the wounds in Delight-dono's heart will never fade."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Not so much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Liese only knew about Delight and Albert through hearsay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She could not even ask her friend Fran.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the time, she was very curious about it and remembered that she had asked her father about it, but he had only given her a bitter look and would not tell her.

I would not have been able to bear that humiliation. I would not have been able to endure that humiliation. I can say that it was only because of the devotion of your daughter Francesca that I was able to escape to drink. But I had no idea that Albert had made a pass at Francesca. Shame on him."

I don't want Sam fighting with a man like that!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, wait a minute, Lise. So, let me get back to the point. I think Sam has a chance to win.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let me ask you again, Günther, are you saying that Sam is better than Delight, or even Albert?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Asked by Jonathan, Günther nodded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In terms of simple firepower, yes. I would say it exceeds Albert's."
